A/N: Start of a new place. For those of you new to the story I tried to keep each world down to three chapters in order to do an "arc" so to speak. Because I am editing as I go some chapters might end up being quite long as I attempt to clean up the story and dialog. Enjoy!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the darkness before his eyes snapped open the sound around him was deafening. A marked change from the suffocating silence he had grown used to. Mysteriously, when his eyes finally snapped open; he was alone in a dark alley and all was quiet. His heart hammered violently and painfully in his chest and he gasped to control his erratic breathing. Gone was the interior of Xigbar’s ship, gone was the roar of the sea and the splash of the waves, gone was his second chance. Tears welled in his eyes and he pulled his knees to his chest, crying bitterly for a moment. That was it? One chance and he’d ruined it! He cried for what seemed to be hours and by the time he finally ran out of tears he found that he could no longer muster the energy to feel sorry for himself. He should be grateful shouldn’t he? He had a heart; he wasn’t floating in the endless nothingness that was the Darkness. He was free… free to live his life any way he wanted. So why did it seem so pointless without Xigbar there with him? Okay, maybe there was still just a little energy for self-pity.
With a resigned sigh he hopped to his feet and brushed himself off, a stray tear drop rolling down his face before he brushed it away. Enough crying, he’d done enough of that in the darkness and since he didn’t go back this time, there had to be a reason; now if he could only figure out where he was. He looked down at his clothes to get some sort of clue and was surprised to see himself dressed in slack jeans, tennis shoes and a blue t-shirt with a distorted music note scrawled across the front over a black long sleeved shirt. He reached up to see if his hair was also the same and found it styled in its usual fashion, but the arrival of an earring in his right ear was a bit surprising. His wrists were decorated with bracelets and bands of all shapes and colors and when he went to look down at his new shoes he discovered something quiet out of place. In the alley, just to the left of the box he’d bee sitting on was a large blue guitar case. His heart skipped a beat and he eagerly knelt down to open it. Inside, lovingly placed and gleaming as if it had just been polished was his sitar. He almost started crying again.
Well one thing was certain, even in he never found Xigbar again, at least he had his music. Demyx paused for a moment and grimaced, that sounded so lame. Admonishing himself for his depressing thoughts Demyx rose to his feet and easily lifted the heavy case to rest across his back thanks to a nifty strap and effortlessly breezed out of the alley. He had already decided that this was not Twilight Town, the buildings were much closer together and nothing looked familiar, the trolley and tracks were also missing, never minding the giant sign that said Travers Town to his right. He tried to put on an optimistic smile and it worked for a moment as he breezed around the unknown landscape, drinking in the sites. He’d always been one of the more curious Nobodies and he was often criticized by the others for his penchant for wandering away and getting himself into trouble. He remembered that Wonderland had been his favorite place to visit, the craziness there was calming and revitalizing. His small grin grew wider as he remembered wanting to take Xigbar there and make love with him under the large flowers (the non-talking ones.)
Making his way around the town he was so absorbed in the scenery that he wasn’t paying attention to the path in front of his feet. This was made almost immediately apparent when his shoulder crashed into someone and spun him around. “Oh gosh sorry!” he shouted as he turned to make amends. What met him was not a total stranger but the beautiful if not slightly sinister face of Marluxia and attached firmly to his hand was…XIGBAR?!
“Watch it punk!” Marluxia bitched before Xigbar tugged at his hand.
“Come on Baby, leave the kid alone, he said sorry!” the former Nobody grinned in order to placate his lover. “Besides we have a date!” he next action made Demyx sick to his stomach. Xigbar pulled Marluxia close and kissed him gently. After that the two sauntered away, but Demyx’s feet were frozen to the ground. Sweet mother of all that was good and wholesome in the world, he was going crazy, that was the only thing he could think as he watched the man he loved walk away hand in hand with the one Nobody he couldn’t stand!
“You bitch!” he snarled under his breath as he turned and prepared to rectify the situation, shock and disgust fueling the adrenaline that now rushed through his veins.
“STOPRA!”
“What the hell?” Demyx thought as he found himself frozen and facing forward. Then HE came into view, the one who started all of this. “YOU!” he snarled at the brunette youth that stood in front of him. “This is all your fault!” he began to verbally abuse the legendary Keyblade Master Sora. “As soon as I get out of this spell I’m going to kick your ass!” he spat.
“I think I’d like to see you try!” was the smart ass response as time resumed around him. With a furious growl Demyx launched himself at Sora and punched him across the face. The other boy wasn’t prepared for such an outright attack from an opponent he’d already written off as a weakling and sprawled on the ground.
“You rat bastard if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be here right now!” He shouted, more than willing to place the blame on Sora for his descent into the Darkness and the pain it had caused him.
“What the hell is your problem?” Sora snapped, gingerly rubbing the side of his face as he scrambled to his feet. “I think for that I just might kick your sorry ass again.”
“Try it “Keyblade Master” and I’ll wipe your ass all over the ground!” was the snarled reply. Sora had been expecting a cowardly whimper or him running away again. Maybe he had the wrong guy? But he had called him the Keyblade Master and had said that something was all his fault.
“Alright then fine, let’s do it!” Sora demanded as he summoned his keyblade and Demyx calmly held up a hand as he dug the sitar out of its case and situated it properly. “Ready?” he snapped in irritation, not believing that his opponent was actually serious.
“DANCE WATER DANCE!” Demyx attacked outright without answering his question. Like the last time they’d met Sora had to fight off a volley of dancing water figures as Demyx played a few chords on his sitar, the tune was different from what he remembered last time, it was far more passionate, and yet tinged with sadness. After a moment of intense playing and dodging the blond launched into the columns of water. His playing reached a crescendo as the water ruthlessly hammered into Sora again and again; trapping him in a vortex of water he couldn’t escape. If it wasn’t for Leon’s sudden intervention, the Keyblade Master might have been more seriously injured, perhaps even killed from the amount of force that Demyx was attacking him with. However the older brunette was able to jump in at the knick of time to grab him.
“No! Put him back!” Demyx shouted aiming his attack at Leon. As Sora sat there slightly dazed he realized that Demyx’s behavior was different than before. Perhaps it was the water singing in his ears but he suddenly thought that he understood just what the hell was going on here today.
Leon moved in for the kill after setting Sora down out of the way. “LEON NO!” Sora shouted performing another Stopra spell. Leon froze and Demyx turned to Sora.
“That’s not going to help you, DANCE WATER DA-” he was cut off suddenly as Riku ran up behind him and disarmed him with a quick but powerful kick to the back of his head. Demyx fell unconscious to the ground, his sitar clattering away from him across the damp cobblestones.
“Shoot, we leave Radiant Garden for a vacation and he shows up?” Riku sighed as he tapped the unconscious man with his foot.
“What was his name again? I remember fighting him ages ago, was it Radiant Garden…or Hollow Bastian? I don’t remember” Sora pondered out loud as Leon was released from the Stop spell and gave him a very sour glare.
“His name’s Demyx, The Melodious Nocturne. But…I thought you killed him?” Riku asked, confusion evident in his voice as he continued to glare at the prone body lying on the stones.
“I did, and he just tried to kill me!” Sora defended. “Let’s take him to Merlin’s house, maybe when he wakes up he’ll answer our questions. Besides, I have a really weird feeling about all this…there’re two other people I saw earlier looked familiar too!” he added as Leon easily picked Demyx up and flung him over his shoulders like a sack of potato’s. Riku was thoughtful enough to gather Demyx’s sitar and put it back into its case. However he found it extremely heavy and struggled under the weight the entire time he carried it after the oblivious Sora and the scowling Leon.

“Demyx…are you alright?”Roxas’ familiar voice asked.
“No! I hurt everywhere, why is this happening to me? I don’t understand anything!”
“Maybe you’re the only one who can do it, ya know?”
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
“Yeah…you’re right. I mean after all, the old Demyx would have just run away from everything.”
“Don’t get preachy on me, running away sounds pretty damn good right now.”
“You really are different you know Dem? I kinda like it…”
“Didn’t you like me before?”
“Yeah, but you…I don’t know, when you didn’t have a heart you pretty much let everyone walk all over you, now all of a sudden you’re fighting at the drop of a hat.”
“Does that make me a bad person? I just want Xigbar to remember me, I wanna tell him I love him. I get so angry now…I loose my temper for the oddest things and it doesn’t seem that I’m the same person at all. Maybe I went so long without a heart that I can’t control it now that I have one.”
“Sora could help.”
“This is all Sora’s fault, if he hadn’t killed me…”
“You went to fight willingly to prove to Xigbar you were strong.”
“Pssh…some strength right?”
“Well maybe you didn’t have enough because you didn’t have a heart to fuel the emotions you had.”
“That’s a stupid reason Roxas and you know it…you always had plenty of strength even though you didn’t have a heart.”
“Look at who my heart belonged to.”
“Maybe I was a Nobody even when I was a Somebody,” Demyx sighed sadly.
“Don’t worry Demyx, I still love you.”
“Gee thanks Rox…maybe I’ll find you too you know? Promise you won’t forget me either.”
“Never Demy, never.”
